Your blog is very well written! As a language teacher - I enjoy listening to you speak correctly on the show. Your intelligence comes through when you speak. Also - I empathize with the "hives." Many of us housewives possess emotions that manifest themselves in the form of physical symptoms! You are the BEST!

Hi Alex,
I love you and your family. Simon is the best and your sons are delightful. You seem like a genuine, honest and open human being, and I have always admired your restraint in the face of ugly rudeness. You are allowed to blow your top as you did with Jill, and I could truly feel your tension around her and the other so called ladies! Bethanny, Ramona and Sonja are a hoot, I laugh out loud at some of their antics, however back to you beautiful woman, I wish you and your family success and best wishes and your next book should be about true class (which you have in spades!) Good luck lovely lady!

I like the new Alex. I don't get holier than thou from you. I get that you are trying to handle yourself in a way that you are not embarrassing you and your family.

As far as Jill is concerned, her facial expressions and body language tell it all. That's all i have to say about that.

Alex, i used to enjoy watching you & simon and how neutral and stable you were. But this season showed a side of you that is very unattractive & false.
You were the "mean girl" not Jill. Did you so quickly forget how badly Ramona & Bethanny degraded you and your family in past seasons?? So, just because they apologized all is better? If so, why not the same consideration for Jill. (She actually defended you in past episodes when others couldn't stand the site of you & simon)
Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
Be true to yourself and don't take on other people's battles if not for a charitable cause.

Alex, I know from my own experience when I am hurt by another person and get caught up in the crazy situation of trying to state my feelings I turn into that person I am trying to get across to."" Fight fire with fire" I hate myself afterward but it seems sometimes it is the only way to get through to them. I honestly think that is what happened to each of you women this year. But Alex, don't let Jill's behavoir draw you into being like her. Believe me, I saw her two faced behavoir show time and time again this year. You don't need to lower yourself and talk bad about her, she hangs her self with her words and actions with out anyone else having to say a word. I didn't buy her tears at all when she was hugging Bethanny at the reunion. You, Romonia and Bethanny see right through her , you see what most of us at home have been seeing all along this year. It is all about Jill and Jill alone. When she mentioned you hating her I think she was refering to her feelings for you. Stay away from her, if you can unless she is truely able to renew herself like Romonia. Your a smart lady and will beable to tell when she is sincere. I sincerely hope she learned from this year and can be the better person which we all have inside of us. But until she stops blaming everyone else for her troubles I can't see her changing.
As for you continue to stand up for yourself and fight for the respect you and your family deserve.

I actually find your incessant ranting about Jill is irritating. You remind of someone who never had friends growing up, and finds herself on the inside of the cool clique. I think that you all point fingers at each other for the characteristics that you all share. Sonja is by far the best cast mate on this show. I think she should get her own show.
If I had to list the cast I like in order of most likable it would go like this:
Sonja
Ramona
Bethany
Jill
Luann
Alex
Kelly

Alex,
You have been my favorite housewife since the show started. I am so glad that you stood up for yourself this season, I was wondering when you were going to do so. Go Alex!!!!!!!

Gosh Alex, your'e growing on me! n its a good thing! I just saw annother interview with Kelly she still claims you gals 'bullied' her etc.... I've read other people's 'comments' on her too, they all say she is nuts in her real life too, nanny's included speak about her that way...... I beleive it, she is that way in her real life too so I hope she isn't on season 4 to drive you ladies all crazy! I can see where Jill would be jealous of Bethanny's show, when they used to lay a round and talk about their 'dreams' etc, they probably did have those kind of plans where the two of them would do a show. I think Jill leet some of the 'fame' go to her head and I love Jill! but it does look that way... you and Simon are doing great keep up the good work and Alex, you make such a good 'reporter' thank you!

Alex, I love your blogs and the way you handle yourself on the show this season. You were great on the reunion show, my only complaint is that you all (including Andy) were too easy on Kelly. She's an adult and she should be held accountable for what she says and does. She shouldn't be excused for her horrible behavior just because she's an idiot and whacked out!

Alex I enjoyed you more then ever this season. As for the trip from hell I don' t understand why Kelly was invited. After you all were aboard ship Kelly seemed to go out of her way to be awkward. As for the Jill and Bethnny drama, I agree with your assessment. Hope to see you again next season.

My mother who watched Housewives for the 1st time the other day said "I can't believe that Bethenny can't see through Alex". I have to agree with her.

You have Jill over for a play date with your boys, then you take pride in delivering Bethenny's hurtful message at Ramona's event, then you try to "talk" to Jill at Sonja's party, then you are repulsed at the sight of her on the island, then you attempt to "talk" to her again at the wedding, then you spend the entire reunion shows insulting her by questioning her motives and integrity THEN you say you don't hate her. WHICH IS IT???...whatever.

They should get rid of Jill, Lu Ann and Kelly next season. I know it makes for good TV, if you like train wrecks, but I am tired of it to say the least.

I would much rather see you, Sonja, and that cute party planner girl ( sorry can't remember her name)

Alex,

You talk about Jill creating bad press for you and Bethenny, but look at the bad press you created for her in this blog. You need to worry about setting an example for your boys, instead of bad mouthing Jill! In think that you need to look in the mirror and GROW UP!!!

Alex-luv the way you've evolved thru the seasons..gracefully and w/ class and w your sense of humor intact. A sign of a true lady Also appeciated your true emotions on the "scary island" trip. Hope to see more of you and your family on Bethanys show. Also, love a fellow lady with a man's nicknams. I'll keep watchin, Sammy aka Samantha

Hey Alex! Listen I love new york city housewives, but come on with Bethenny leaving it's gonna be harsh. I mean I almost think that Jill will too, now that she seems to be tongue out drooling all over her. Jill needs to understand what true friendship is, obviously now she thinks it's when you are best buds on camera for the publicity! Errhhhh Wrong Jill sorry. Alex I'm happy you gained some balls but remember you are not stronger or more fierce than the other housewives now...your just equal as before you were the tiny mouse that got pushed around. Oh well Kelly is making an excellent replacement of the old you! I can't wait to see when Kelly does what you do and actually starts making some sense. Got to love the show! Ciao!

Alex, I thought you looked your best on the reunion. The color and style of your hair, your make-up was beautiful.I hope you keep using those beauty updates because then your natural beauty shines through. You do have the face of a model. God Bless you.

Alex would you be so angry at Jill if she were the one who got a show of her own?

Alex,

You have offically become my favorite Housewife. I love your blogs. They are extremely well written. I am glad you finally found the confidence to deal with certain people while filming a reality show. Please stop flogging Jill, even though She has never really been kind to you. These kind of rants take away from your all your wonderful accomplishments with family and career. Hope the book tour comes to the midwest soon.

i love you alex. you rock!

Alex,

You and Bethenny have always been my favorites. I have to say though that you are my first favorite. I'm a simple, 35-year-old mother of seven children, my husband has three from a previous marriage and he and I have had four in the past six and a half years. I'm a stay at home mom and am from Texas, I have southern, down-home values. You have always presented yourself with class and dignity and never been a back stabbing friend, you don't really appear to be into gossip either. I'm proud that you stood up for yourself, all I can say is stay true to yourself and remain yourself. I also think Simon is a hoot, he's adorable. Some of the other women on the show with you wouldn't last 10 minutes in Texas, we would have to teach them some manners really quick like and in a hurry.

Alex, You are my fav. I love watching you.You aremore relatable then anyone. i love that you are opening up more it is great to see you telling jill off she is a mean girl. Stand up and be proud!!!

To be honest, I believe that Jill's been grossly misunderstood. I don't know you, but you come across as holier than thou, and contradictory. How old are you women? You're kissing Bethenny's toosh this season where she has exhibited horriffic behaviour to all of you. You pretend to forgive her, yet you will not forgive Jill. Can you spell hypocrisy?

Alex, I really enjoyed you this year and I'm so glad you stood up to Jill. I love that Ramona, Bethenny and yourself have become friends. Your a Classy Lady and you appear to be a good friend too.
I watch The Real Housewives Of New York because of the Three of You however, I do like the new housewife and look forward to seeing more of her next year!

Alex is a very intelligent woman and she knows exactly what she is doing. She has her own interest at heart. She did a hell of a job taking over the season. It's amazing what you can do when you realize the housewife fame. I applaud her she has to do what she has to do to support her family. That being said, I can see right through you Alex McCord!

Alex-you are by far my favorite housewife! I really hope you do another season of Housewives. I look forward to watching you and your family again & again.

I adore you!!! Thanks for a fun season!

Alex I am sincerely tired of your bullying. I think your efforts to communicate whatever resentment you feel towards Jill comes across as vague and cowardly. I really believe you have grown more courageous because you are on Bethanny's side of the argument and have borrowed her guts. I also believe you should stay out of the Bethanny-Jill argument, that is NOT your fight. You constantly intervene in order to scold and knock Jill down. Even if Jill acted wrongly towards you in the past I am beyond caring, I think most folks are, we are tired of your hyperventilations and anxiety attacks. Just let it go. As Jill said, you guys are not friends, so leave it at that.

alex i absolutely loved you this season ... we really got to know you and we like what we found out. jill is such a liar ... stay away from her and her negativity Karma will take care of that messiness. you, romona, beth and sonja should do a show all on your own. you are positive women about something handling real issues with tact and class. we could learn a lot from you all.

Alex, hyperventilating, seriously? Get over it. I liked you before and I dont now because I think your evil. How could call Jill High School when you would deliver her such a stupid messaage from Bethany? I think you can be a good friend and I think you want to be and probably are, but lets not get rediculous. Your so far from being any kind of victim that its crazy.

I absolutely LOVE you and Simon! Always have. You are a class act and a kind, gentle person.

My opinion of you has changed this season, for the better. I think Kelly heard bits of conversations Jill had(B not being a chef, you channeling the devil,etc.) tried to repeat them, but when questioned didn't have the info. needed to substantiate them which made them sound so random. You handled the craziness of this season amazingly well, keep it up!

I love Bravo! Love the shows! Love the housewives!

Alex, you're mean and nasty, not assertive, and you make the Housewife franchise look bad. You need to stay out of everyone's business.

Love you Alex and I loved the way you were this past year and I'm so glad you told Jill the way you were feeling she has change so much and was not for the better!!! Cant wait to the new season to watch all of you....

Alex, Im glad you finally blew your top, it was long overdue. I love your hair!! I can't wait till next season!!

I love you Alex...you are true thru and thru---and have more class than LuAnn would ever hope to have. Kuddos to your integrity. I admire the marriage and family you and Alex have created.

Sorry I missed you while you were in DC. I got to see a video that a person took while you were in Chicago. The book signing there looked like it was so much fun and that you and Simon are very down to earth individuals.

Totally AGREE WITH YOU with everything you said on this blog! You're the voice of reason... love your stance! Keep up the good work. Say hi to your COOL husband! he's awesome and so are your kids! xoxox

Alex your hair looks amazing on the reunion show. best I have ever seen it love the color!!!

As always, you were the poised classy lady in Part 2 of the reunion.

Alex,
I really hope that after the reunions are over, you will be able to really talk about what happened with Kelly on Ramona's trip. WE have to hear Kelly spout and sputter and call names and just out right lie. Meanwhile, you ladies are not allowed to express your feelings, opinions and what happened to you!

Glad you are speaking up! Jill has it out for you big time and she will be relentless. Take care and keep your family close.

I miss Simon. Will we see more of him next season? He always has some great one-liners. Thank you for standing up for yourself and your kids. Jill didn't know what hit her. Notice how she ALWAYS runs away when someone stands up to her? True bully and coward that one is.

You are officially my favorite! You're blog is right on target on all points!

I always thought you were probably the most "normal" on the show, although your TV persona did not always reflect that. Of everyone on the cast, you seem like the one who is least likely to whack someone over the head with a 2x4 while still being an honest & true friend. What's not to like??

My girlfriend across the street has been coming over for all the reunion shows - tonight, you can bet that we'll be sitting with bated breath while we eat popcorn and hit the pause button to discuss!!

ditto to Marge77's post. Kelly wasn't even allowed to complete her first thought before you guys - with words and/or lame expressions interrupted and belittled her. Who's in high school now?

Hang in there, kiddo. But may I suggest that now that you've announced your boundaries you work on some diplomacy and smoother delivery? You don't have to let yourself appear shrill to be effective. Go on with dignity and build from where you are now.

love you ALEX KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, & I LOVE HOW YOU STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF. YOU ARE SO ON POINT WITH THE LADIES AND THANK GOD YOUR NOT A VICTIM OF JILL. LOL

I Love Silex. You are sweet this season to the people who deserve it. You even helped Jill and Bethenny try to reconnect; but ofcourse that was lost on the venemous Jill. Keep up the good work next season, I would'nt watch if you and Simon were'nt there. You both give the show a much needed reality check.

Alex I have a non threatening question. Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE Kelly is reacting the same way you have claimed that you had to act towards Jill now, namely, you were sick and tired of her (Jill) picking on you and you finally blew? The "gang" jumped Kelly on her first season - period. They admitted to it. This season she probably feels like she had enough and wasn't having it. She didn't wait until there was a war between friends, nor did she wait two more seasons. She reacted promptly when she realized or felt it was personal and she was feeling attacked. Remember she is in "Kellyland" and probably didn't realize that you all treated her like a joke until much later. Think about it. You did the same thing. Shame on the ladies for blowing up her behavior and excusing their own actions that DEFINITLY contributed to whatever issues she may have.
